T1- m-LNalfEE LA kisEsosG eS.-
Sioux Falls Press: w. j. Pool, a
former resident of Sioux Falls and now
of Lake Preston, was in the CITY yester-
day. A reporter of The Press interview
ed MIR. Pool regarding the progress OF
what is know as the Madison extension.
Mr.. Pool said that the work was going
ahead very rapidly. 1t will be remem.
bered that the line from Madison to
Lake PRESTON was built last year and
the whole line graded to Bristol on the
Hastings and Dakota division. The
line is now being pushed on north at
the rate of about two miles per day.
The track is now laid for about fifty
miles beyond Lake Preston and it is
expected will reach Bristol about Au-
get 10.
MI. Pool says that from the talk he
has heard it seems as though the COM
pany intended to pull up its track be-
tween Dell Rapids and Egan and run
the line from Dell Rapids to Madison
II must be said. however, that there
seems to be good reason against thit
view. The long talked of connec-
ton between the Fargo Southern and
the Sioux City and Dakota lins will CD.
doubtedly be built one OF these days. Il
is moreover unlikely that this Madison
line will be pushed very far north o
Bristol, as it would simply parallel itt
James river line.

THE INTER STATE COMMERCE BILL.
1t is Signed by the President and Becomes

1t is Signed by the President and Becomes a
Law.
On Saturday the President signed the
interstate commerce bill and it now be-
comes a law. The signing of the bill by
the president was in full accord with the
opinion of Atty. Gen. Garland, rendered
to him on last Monday, and it is well un
derstood to be in accord with the views of
the cabinet.
The attorney general was asked to give
his views in regard to the bill and explain
wherein it differed from the senate bill of
two years ago, which he opposed on the
ground that it was unconstitutional. He
declined TO do SO, saying that he regarded
the opinion he had given the president
on the subject as strictly confidential. it
is learned, however, from trustworthy
sources that the attorney general, as well
as the president, considers the bill which
has Just become a law free from all the
material features which were objection
able in the senate bill for two years ago,
according to the information the attor-
ney generals objections TO the old bill
was to the vast power of legislative and
judicial character that were given to the
commission. The attorney general is
said to hold that the present bill does not
confer judicial powers on the commits
sion, but puts them in the courts on the
report from the legislative power except
in the fourth section (the long and short
haul clause), and that this is warranted by
numberiess precedents in the legislative
history of the government.

The Worst Flood Known for Years.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Feb. 9.-High water
from the sudden rising of Turtle creek is
doing an immense amount of damage.
Bridges at Shopiere and Turtleville are
washed out and barns swept away. The
whole of Turtleville mill will probably go
out. Families are driven from their
houses and obliged to call for help. Old
settlers say it is the worst flood known
for years. The damage can not be ap-
prOximated at present.

The water had greatly receded, which
permits work to be done, clearing the
roads of ice and other debris and repair

are open and the damage will not amount
to much, although it is evident that the
locality in the flooded district barely es-
capped terrible catastrophe. Rock river

A RATHER interesting point relating to
the issue of flee passes under the Inter
state Commerce bill has just been raised
by Mr.. Charlie F. Adams, the president
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company
Mr.. Adams, in instructions to the general
manager of the company, interpreted
the act as prohibiting the giving of free
passes to perso ms not connected with the
service of the company or travelling upon
business In which it has 10 interest.
Mr.. Adams h Rs asked ex-Judge Dillon,
the general counsel of the Union Pacific
Company, whe Their his view of the law is
correct, an the latter has
given an opin ion holding that railroad
companies subject to the provisions of
the act are prd hibited from issuing free
passes for traY ell not disconnected with
interstate com munication or commerce
This is an int rpretation of the law which
will doubtless sadden large number of
industrious travellers, legislators and
othres, but it will probably commend it
self to many hilroad managers, as it un
dOubtedly will to Mr.. Adams. That gen
tleman has al% Ways regarded the pass sys
tenn as an outrage. AS may be recollect
ed In his testimony before the Cullon
Committee he declared that, in conse
quence of the issue of free passes. 10 pei
ceut. or more had to be charged to those
who do pay fares to make up for those
who do not.

Michigan inundated.
AT MONROE, MICH.

Monroe, Mich, Feb. 10.-The river
basin was never SO high has it has been
since yesterday afternoon. The water
began rising yesterday morning and the
people were called out of bed by the
ringing of the fire-bells to look after their
property. With the water came an ice
gorge which swept away the Macomb
street bridge last evening. It was an
iron structure valued at, $4,000, and the
principal span rested on the ice for a
time, and was secured to an adjacent tree
by some large chains. Later the chains
were broken and the bridge sank. Many
residences have been flooded and several
people were rescued with difficulty. The
railroad bridges were watched all night
by the employees of the roads.
